Molecular determinants of substrate selectivity in Na+-dependent nucleoside transporters.
In mammalian cells, the salvage of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides is mediated by both facilitated and Na+-dependent nucleoside transporters. These transporters also play important roles in the transmembrane flux of therapeutic nucleoside analogs, which are widely used in the treatment of cancer and viral infections. The N1, N2, and N3 Na+-dependent nucleoside transporters differ in terms of ...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Mouse Carnitine Octanoyltransferase and Molecular Determinants of Substrate Selectivity*□S
Carnitine acyltransferases have crucial functions in fatty acid metabolism. Members of this enzyme family show distinctive substrate preferences for short-, mediumor long-chain fatty acids. The molecular mechanism for this substrate selectivity is not clear as so far only the structure of carnitine acetyltransferase has been determined. To further our understanding of these important enzymes, w...

متن کاملMolecular determinants of pyrantel selectivity in nicotinic receptors.
Nicotinic receptors (acetylcholine receptors, AChRs) play key roles in synaptic transmission throughout the nervous system. AChRs mediate neuromuscular transmission in nematodes, and they are targets for antiparasitic drugs. The anthelmintic agents levamisole and pyrantel, which are potent agonists of nematode muscle AChRs, are partial agonists of mammalian muscle AChRs. To further explore the ...
متن کاملMolecular determinants of ligand selectivity in a vertebrate odorant receptor.
The identification of the chemical structure of an odorant by the vertebrate olfactory system is thought to occur through the combinatorial activity from multiple receptors, each tuned to recognize different chemical features. What are the molecular determinants underlying the selectivity of individual odorant receptors for their cognate ligands? To address this question, we performed molecular...
